The Republican city convention assem-
bled at Turner hall yesterday and consumed
the entire day in making the several nomi-
nations on the district and ward tickets. 1t
was 1 very representative and eminently re-
spectacle body OF men and was made up,
for the most part, OF the old wheel-horSeS
of the party. Familiar faces loomed up in
every direction and the proceedings savored
considerably of the precinct style, albeit
there was no occasion for disturbance.
The chairman, I. T. Lane, was model
presiding officer and his ready tirmness
ayerted several times what might have been
serious rows. No general city officers were
nominated, and the entire work of the con-
vention was in deciding the matter of con-
tested seats upon which hung the fate of
several aldermanic aSpirants. 1t was decided
TO make no nominations for judges Of the
municipal court, neither for park commits
sioners or school inspectors leaving such
latter nominations in the hands of a COM
mittee appointed to confer with The Demo-
Gratis. With few exceptions the nominal
tons were all ''cut and dried" and the only
real incident of the day was the disgraceful
Eighth ward fight, in which disreputable
terms were banded about with easy grace
and alarming frequency. The detailed pro-
ceedngs follow.

The Democratic city convention will be
called to order at 2 p. m. to-day (not 10 a.
M, as has been reported) at Turner hall.
NJ. W. Glenn, chairman of the committee,
will call the body to order. and it is altogether
probable Mayor Ames will be chosen pre-
siding officer. The convention will NOM
mate four candidates for park commission
ers, three for school inspectors and two for
judges of the municipal court. The body
will then separate and name three candi-
dates for justices and then still further
separate and complete the aldermanic nonl-
nations

THAT MIRACULOUS PAIL.
The Ugly Fight in The Eighth-.A
Great Breach Opened.

Ane Ugly EsRnC LA Inc EtS hlh- A
Great Breach Opened.
The incident Of the convention was red
hot contest over the First precinct of the
Eighth ward-the precinct in which Aid.
Lawrence resides and which he is popu-
larly supposed to carry about in his watch
pocket. On the face of the returns the
delegation elected was a StOneman party,
elected by about 1876, in round numbers, to
rs for the Mumford delegates. When the
convention assembled the conIeSting dele
CATION put i'll an appearance and the seance
before the committee on credentials was
rather interesting commentary Oh the opin-
ion which some Republicans have of each
other. The contrasting delegation was
headed by j. II. Giddings, who submitted
the af1idavits of John Caldwell, A. Il.
Chestnut and dozen others: they agreed
in the main, and were about as follows:
That the caucus assembled in barn and
was captured by force by the Stoneman
crowd. headed by Messrs. Backus, Dins-
more and others, who organized it by fraud
and without needing calls for division.
They then produced a tin pail, covered with
board, and in it the ballots were
placed. The Mumford crowd was
not allowed to look into the
pan, dlltt SOulo vi llltill NcIe uOI dllOW6C 10
vote The room was small, and could not
have contained more than 125 people, yet
that pail was found to contain PIT ballots.
The affidavits went on to say that the pail
was fixed in advance by Backus and
Eugene Lawrence, son of Aid. Albert Law
renee.
The Stoneman crowd denied all this in
toto. They claimed the caucas was fair
and regular, and that the pail was picked
up in an adjoining shed, emptied of the
rubbish it contained, and then turned bot
tom up before the caucus. They Hereby
denied any fraud, and Backus rushed to
confront the liars who had blackened his
character" John Day Smith made hot
speech in favor of the regular delegates
and Chestnut. Nash and others made equally
warm objections. and the scene was ami
mated. to say the least. Finally, when
everybody had exhausted his list of adject-
ives, the committee excluded everybody,
and by vote of Z to decided to seat the
contesting delegates. A. J. Boardman, G.
a. PillSbury and Robert Jamison were in
the minority.
In the convention the fight was renewed
with increased acrimOny. and a perfect hail
of epithets rained down, but the convention
reversed the decision of the committee, and
seated the regulars. The result was to
nominate Stoneman, but it leaves the
ward in terribly torn up condition. The
Mumford delegates loudly declared they
would never support Stoneman, and all in
dependent candidate is now probable.
